Not bad for an absolute beginner. The first one looks WAY too overexposed. The second one isn't bad but you will quickly learn that cloudy days are your friend. As far as the rest a faster shutter speed would have done you well. Is it just me guys or does the baseball pic look like it has a bit of CA surrounding the uniforms?

To be honest, I would invest in a better lens. FWIW, I also shoot a D40x but I use the AF-s 50mm f/1.4 most of the time. Putting good glass in front of the camera made me WANT to shoot more. And we all know that practice does nothing but make you better!

Thank you. how much did you get your 50mm? is it Nikkor or a third party brand? what does CA mean? my understanding is 50mm is good for portraits. correct me if i'm wrong. another question. shutter speed is the f-stop right? not the number you can scroll all the way up to 4000?
